Creek Show will celebrate its 10th anniversary at Waller Creek
Thursday, August 29, 2024 by Beth Bond
Creek Show, the annual light-based art exhibition that sets Waller Creek aglow, is coming back this November for its 10th anniversary celebration, honoring a decade of what it calls “high spectacle creativity, innovation, and community.” Creek Show alumni artists and designers are creating a new series of light-based immersive spectacles along the creek that will open nightly from 6-10 p.m. Nov. 8-16. Tickets go on sale at 10 a.m. Sept. 19, and online reservations are required to attend. Some nights offer free entry and some require a low-cost entry fee – check creekshow.com for scheduling and reservations. All proceeds from Creek Show benefit Waterloo Greenway Conservancy, the nonprofit organization whose mission is to create and maintain a new 35-acre urban park system in partnership with the city of Austin. “Over the past decade, this unique installation series has captivated the imaginations of architects, landscape architects, and artists, drawing hundreds of thousands of Austinites and visitors to experience the magic of Waterloo Greenway,” says Ingrid Spencer, AIA Austin executive director and Creek Show co-founder and artistic director. “Creek Show has not only illuminated our cityscape but has also shone a spotlight on the vital restoration and revitalization efforts of Waller Creek, fostering a deeper connection to our urban parks and their ecological importance.”
